Thanks again everyone for chiming in. Leon I picked up a fat red marking pen too.

Good deal Mark. I think mine are actually 4x7 too. You can still go here and calculate what your shipping will be:

You don't have to be logged in or have an account.

In the first window type in the zip codes. After you put in the zip codes click on "Calculate price based on Shape and Size". Next window type in the weight and click on "Large Envelope". Next window click on "Contains items that cause more than 1/4 inch variation in thickness". Next window scroll down to "First-Class Package Service - Retail" for the price.
